A couple may be separated due to the need for constant, though not specialized, medical
care where no one household could (or was willing to) attend to the needs of both
members of the married couple, so each lived in different locations (For example,
the NH and spouse reside with different family members).
Confirm with the surviving spouse that the medical conditions were the sole reason
for the separation and the surviving spouse demonstrated continued interest in the
financial and personal welfare of the deceased.
